Not my style Uncle, i prefer romance and mutual satisfaction. Provided in any good book.  

Good God Ernie, what an archaic notion!

As an occasional contributor I too have missed the usual appearance of the thread. I doubt the plea to interpose some actual football dialogue would do anything but reduce the overall streams of consciousness that regularly inhabit the site. I read recently that Nick Cave had identified the beach as, the sand representing the conscious mind and the water representing the subconscious.

Didnt have a clue what that meant but have grappled with the need to redefine the diving board in the pool.

And what of the significance of the banana as an economic unit to rival the bitcoin? When does the abstract replace the obtuse?

The potential of the Chaos theory to overwhelm the simplest of observations reduces football matters to just another variable in the complexity of life.

Well must be drawing closer to the inanities of the game but never let this thread be halted.

I’m back after an extended stay out near Beaufort .

I won’t bore you with the details but I managed to reacquaint myself with some Christian values and received some guidance from a fairly senior “ Rock Chucker”.

Will bless you with the details once computer and carriage service device privileges are restored fully.

That's what I am talking about !

This should keep the thread going into eternity.

Red will be pleased, others thoughtful and good old  Uncle simply bewildered.

it may also bring Biffin back to reality.

Obviously a man of great intelligence.

I have no idea why you are a MFC supporter!

Perhaps because he is a philosophical nihilist who still retains loyalty to lost causes. 

Or maybe he is a skeptic that thinks that 2018 was an aberration and a new beginning.

Unlike your conclusion OD, i think that an essential requirement of being a MFC supporter is intelligence.  You need intelligence and humility to rationalize and process all the vicissitudes that come with our eternal loyalty.

Sadly. I Will have to disagree Ernest the chief requirement of being a MFC devotee would have to be a lack of sanity.

No sane person would continue supporting the MFC through the last 55 years.

Only people who suffer from grand delusions would continue.

I have heard the term reality shock, that would be the status if Biffen is even close, and Uncle and bewilderment are joyous company.

As to others being thoughtful, that option is usually missing on the new instant social media channels, if this thread is an outpost it occasionally also moves into the error of instant response being more relevant than any considered process.

It would be admirable to have red pleased but I believe he already inhabits a higher state..

But thanks for your comments which I have always s enjoyed usually only as an observer.

Currently outside the emergency created in NSW but wary of the climate of fear that is taking precedence over any positive action to maintain personal tranquility. My recognised title is an indicator of where my preference lies.

Off to squash where my team has carried me to the final series. I must defeat yet another young challenger, rabid hawks supporter who needs to be reminded of the dignity of losing.

I was going to finish with the dignity of losing graciously but then realised if I was to lose thar phrase could never be considered.

However he did not prevail and I was able to savour the reward of victory magnanimously and yet humbled as my team lost. We now head to the elimination while his team is propelled straight to the Grand final.

I must increase intake of bananas as I contemplate eliminating another upstart on Thursday and repeating victory on Friday in the GF.

We all have our minor diversions from the harshness of following MFC.

If ever you had any doubt about life or if banana was a banana, the definitive book of our epoch has arrived. It comes pre coloured in so you can save your crayons. It answer questions that you didn't know needed answering, like. If an eggplant really grew eggs chickens would be out of a job! Or if a catfish was really made of cats, then it might get chased by a dog. RRP $19.99 Bargain!

Off to Singapore to test the Asian banana market and sound out any international recruits. 

Will rely on DL to get me through draft night.

Keep well guys and keep the thread pumping with footy and social news, to inform the fighting masses on the other threads.

Was there early August Mr. Leg, I like Singapore especially the Chillie Crab. You could easily live in Singapore and not know the MFC exists.

Nothing out of the ordinary Moon.

I’m having trouble getting back into my old room at the Gat .

Place has had some ghastly Reno done which I will rectify once I have had the locks fixed .

"Truth in sentencing" is obviously a myth.

The scoundrel got off far too leniently.
